Hi team. After years of no hassle fun, my LPG has displayed it's first sign of insolence!
On a warm day (let's say 25 deg), the car will misfire under load. It may be light load, but it's undrivable in town. Switch to petrol, it's ace.
I have cleaned (not replaced) the LPG filter, which I believe is where the issue is, but I can't work out why it's only when the weather is warm.
Further analysis (when removing the filter from the convertor) shows that the AC canister located 2 inches from the filter housing is ABSOLUTELY FREEZING!
My thoughts are:
1 - the filter is stuffed
2 - Perhaps the convertor isn't getting ample water to heat
a - Radiator cap
b - Thermostat
Any experience team?
(PS - I just bought a brand new Captiva, so I am looking to sell the big girl!)
